Teena Marie - The Red Zone lyrics

War is all around us fighting everywhere
Poverty, destruction
Do they really even care

Brothers fighting brothers cause
Their color's blue
So we're living in the red zone
What am I supposed to do

Sometimes I feel like I don't
Want to sing at all
Then I think about you baby and I
Know I got stand up tall
Babies making babies, full of china white
Cracking down a dark street
They can't even see no light
Living for a pipe dream smoking
Out the blessed minds
Killing sweet, defenseless people
They don't even do no time

Sometimes I feel like I don't
Want to sing no more
Then I think about you baby
And what my sweet Lord had for me in store

I'm living in the red zone but
You know it's not that bad
Cause, I got you beside me and I
Don't have to feel so sad
I'm living in the red zone
Don't you worry about a thing
Cause you got me to hold you tight
And you'll be standing in the wings

Holocaust apartheid all around the map
One lady has 10
000 shoes and another has food stamps
So many bag people with nowhere to go
I can't believe it still goes on
Living in the red zone

Sometimes I feel like I don't
Want to sing at all
Then I think about you baby and I
Know I got to stand up tall

I'm living in the red zone but
You know it's not that bad
Cause, I got you beside me and I
Don't have to feel so sad
I'm living in the red zone
Don't you worry about a thing
Cause you got me to hold you tight
And you'll be standing in the wings
You reached in and drew a string
Of lights all around my heart
You comfort me and you walked
Me through the dark
I'll always love you for the
Things that you've given me
To be loved by you is a blessing
